🇰🇷 In a dramatic political showdown, South Korean anti-corruption investigators moved to arrest impeached President Yoon Suk-yeol on Friday, sparking a tense standoff at the presidential residence in Seoul.
Prosecutors from the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO) were seen approaching the main gate of Yoon’s residence, where they reportedly clashed with presidential security agents. TV footage captured the scene as authorities faced off in a high-stakes legal and political battle.
The move comes amid Yoon’s ongoing impeachment proceedings, which have gripped the nation like a K-drama plot twist 🍿. Analysts say the unprecedented attempt to arrest a sitting president reflects South Korea’s fierce anti-corruption stance, though constitutional experts warn of uncharted legal territory.
No official statements have been released about potential charges, but local media suggests the investigation relates to abuse of power allegations. Young voters across Asia are watching closely, with TikTok debates already trending under #SeoulShowdown.
